2nd day of tapering

[Ladykonnie]

It's been a hard day. Tapering off might seem easier than quitting CT but it's still hard. I WAS taking 14, pills 10 mg each/  a day yesterday I only took 9 and today I took 8.  I should have spread them through out the day,  but I didn't.  I feel ok now, but about 3 hours after I took them, I felt sort of  weak and dizzy. Then I remembered, stay hydrated, and I drank lots of water and felt better. Now I'm just going through some withdrawals but not as bad. How ever, this morning when I woke up I was in horrible pain, all over my body. I hope this tapering thing goes well. Please continue your prayers.

Thank you all!!! Now I feel like crap. I'm thinking of tomorrow when I can take more. I know is normal. But I'm also thinking being a slave to addiction is not the way to live. I have a problem that needs fixing.  Yes it is time to get this monkey off my back. @ Pjtwenty - yes!!! You know exactly how it is!!!
@msdelight- thank you!!! I believe I have self control, because I have tomorrow's dose and so far so good.  Let's see how it goes tomorrow.  Continue your prayers. I'm broken (tears....eeerrrhhh) .... ((((Hugs))))

Tapering was hard but you can do this. I went from 7/10 hydro's 7.5 a day to 3 a day and then jumped. I had to just get it over with and get on with life. I had been taking the evil pills for 18 years. Now life has so many more possibilities. Keep fighting.

Tapering helps a lot but it's still miserable. I think mainly because you could take more to get that buzz but you can't because you're tapering. Lol.
I think tapering is the way to go if you have the willpower.
Keep it up!

Good morning girl and I feel your pain. Taper down as much as possible then jump. Get it over with. Flush the remnants. I'm praying for your success and support you all the way. I jumped off 8 10mg percs and lived to tell the tale. It's at least a week of hell for sure but you can do it!
